  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IJWTA that turning down a job because the person going through the applications blatantly didn't put as much effort into reading them as you did into filling them out is perfectly justifiable, especially when they call you Mr in the e-mail, ring you up and ask to speak to Mr Z and then send another e-mail which was forwarded onto someone else where you are referred to as "this guy could be useful for our education department, but he'd have to stay offsite as he can't share with the girls in the house".

Wow. I might have had to turn that job down myself as well.

IJWTS-Either cats have become a lot more social than I remember or they just really like me. While I was living in my own apartment (most of my adult life), I wasn't really around cats much, if ever. Growing up, though, my mother had a cat (I loved that guy), as did my grandmother and aunts. None of the cats that I grew up around seemed to care about human affection. My mother's cat, Smokey, would put up with me, though. He was the strong, silent type, but I could tell he loved me. :D

Anyway, now cats love me and want my attention/affection constantly. My aunt has two cats and they constantly follow me, mew at me, and give me rubbies (rub their bodies against me). The one that looks like a skinny Maine Coon (I'm convinced it's half Maine Coon, but my aunt's not sure, since her sister rescued the cat from the street) seems to be particularly fond of me. And I was staying with a family friend for a few weeks and her cats loved me, too.

It's crazily different than my childhood experiences with cats. I don't know. Maybe I give off an animal friendly vibe/scent now because dogs respond really well to me, too. Dogs have always liked me, though.

IJWTS that I can't sleep. Obviously, since i'm still on here, at 2:02am, and yes I have tried shutting off the computer and lying in darkness. Hurrah.
IAJWTS that i've recently been tagged in a photo that perfectly illustrates what happens when someone used to low calorific intakes and high exercise outputs reverses the situation. Oh yes. Awesome.

Me: J-Why did you hit A?
*silence-for a while*
Me: Okay, what do you think you should say to him?
J: Umm. I forgot.
Me: Do you want me to help you?
J: Sure.
Me: I'm sorry I pushed you against the table.
*silence for a while-I just patiently wait*
J: I dont know how to say that.
At this point I want to laugh so much, but I cant.
Me: Okay, lets do it again. I'm sorry I pushed you against the table.
J: Ohh, thats how you say it.
Sowwie!

My kids are too smart for me sometimes.

Hahaha.

IJWTS-Grrrr. I can't get this song out of my head. It's pretty and all, but so sad. My aunt was listening to 70s music this morning and it got in my head then. YouTube - Linda Ronstadt - Long Long Time

ETA:I'm now washing that song out of my brain with Breaking Benjamin. Love that band.

A Healing Heart

Once broken and scattered...
Once forgotten and left for dead…
Slowly but surely...
Brokenness of thy own Heart...
Soon heals over time...
Darkness lifted...
Depression no more...
Despair no more resides of thy Soul…
A healing heart...
May take some time...
For others it may be quick...
Do not lie to thy own Heart...
If you do, repeating the past...
Will be recurring in your lifetime...
Allow the healing to overwhelm you...
You loved and you lost...
Time for healing...
Be restored in Christ...
Eventually a healed heart...
Can love again...
Lest you wait...
Eventually you shall Love again...
Amen...
